The Offshore Supply Tugboat Bourbon Rhode, which found itself near the eye of Hurricane Lorenzo on Thursday, sank in the Atlantic, confirmed the ship’s owner. Three crew members were rescued, while the search for the remaining eleven crew members is ongoing.

The Bourbon Rhode was en route to Las Palmas for Guyana when it sent a distress signal on Thursday, reporting water ingress at the rear of the vessel. The ship, with 14 crew members on board, was 1,200 nautical miles from Martinique and 60 nautical miles southeast from the eye of the category 4 hurricane “Lorenzo”.

Bourbon said on Thursday night that the bulk carrier “SSI EXCELLENT” was requested to change course and assist the Bourbon Rhode. The bulk carrier was located 200 nautical miles south of the last known position of the Bourbon Rhode, which was built in 2006.

In an update on Saturday, Bourbon Offshore said: “In the context of the search operations for the tugboat Bourbon Rhode, initiated on September 26, the mobilized rescue teams recovered a lifeboat with three crew members on board, which was identified by a Falcon 50 [jet] specially equipped for this type of mission and sent by the French Navy.

In an update on Sunday night, Bourbon said that the search for the Bourbon Rhode continues with full support from Cross AG and the French navy, under the authority of the mayor representing the French national maritime authority.

“Five commercial vessels changed course to provide assistance to the rescue teams. A Falcon 50 from the French navy, as well as aircraft from the American National Hurricane Center (NHC), conducted numerous overflights of the search area. The French navy surveillance frigate “Ventôse” and the “Panther” helicopter will intervene tomorrow, September 30,” said Bourbon.

“[On Saturday], early in the evening, a fast rescue vessel was first spotted by the NHC aircraft and then by the Falcon 50. A commercial vessel involved in the operation is currently heading in its direction to attempt recovery. The BOURBON crisis cell and teams remain fully mobilized to monitor the situation and maintain contact with the families of the crew members, providing all their support during this difficult time,” said Bourbon on Sunday night (CET).
